That is probably a universal motor and they throw much fire when
operating. I doubt that it is fatally grounded and someone who has dealt
with them can probably fix it or George may have a replacement as it is

Steve,
Machining a new shaft or straightening the old one, shouldn't be a problem...
however, I have never rewound a motor.

Here in the Finger Lakes of New York state, we occasionally see trolling motors
made from phonograph spring motors. Believe it or not, there was a guy still
doing this at least up to about 5 years ago. Several antique dealers have told
me they sell their junk machines to this guy who installs
Do you know what type of motor it is and what has convinced you that it
needs rewound? The reason I ask is those are not at all like straight
forward motors that inhabit reasonably modern turntables.

Congratulations! It's relatively unlikely that the three earlier s.n.'s will
ever surface, so unless/until the unlikely day that one does, you can claim to
have the earliest currently known VV-XII.

Given that serial numbers started at 501, that would be extremely early. A real

There are no --coils in a box-- for those antique motors. Requires hand

Thanks Ron... I'll check them out, as they are not too far away. The problem I

The first style XII is a little plainer than the later XII. The doors
over the horn are very thin. The later XII has a bit of fancy trim that runs
around the machine under the lid and the doors over the horn are slightly
taller. I think the model was made for slightly over a year and pro

You need to look for a hobbyist machinist who will cut one for you as
the cost to setup and machine a single gear will take your breath away.
A small independent job shop would do it but you will need drawings and
specifications, but still expensive.
